Roger, it almost pains me to look at the pictures in your portfolio, I miss Japan so much. This shot is a perfect glance into one aspect of daily commuter life: the rampant display of advertisements they're faced with every day. It's really crazy, but I'll take their colorful marketing to billboards on a Texas freeway any day.... ;-)

Roger, your panorama images are great. It's fun to look at them and see so much. I especially like this one with all the chaotic signs everywhere...yet with the tones it's a peaceful moment in what is usually a busy area. Also, thanks for your comments on one of my images, your thought out comments are appreciated. Anyway, your panorama images are neat!
Mark

Roger, Compared to Bangkok and even worse, Manila, the traffic in Tokyo is a dream.

Brad, you ask "How?" The answer is--IT CAN'T. The extent of traffic jams in Tokyo is not measured by the average speed of vehicles trapped in it but by how long they are stationary!

Hi Roger, I always marvel at how a city like Tokyo can have such narrow gutted little streets without the traffic actually grinding to a complete stand still. I like the composition of this shot. I dont think that having the train that far away detracts from the shot. The view of the road in concert with the train is well balanced
Possibly It would benefit from a "velvia" saturation treatment to lift the greens and the yellows a touch tough

Well not quite how I remembered. It certainly is dirtier than the Japanes version, less colourful too !!

It means that somebody who's new to the rating system or forgetful set the overall rating but didn't know/notice/forgot to set the category scores.

I would like to have had the train a little nearer. In fact I do have another shot in which the train IS nearer, but the angle of the view down the sidestreet isn't as good. But with a swing-lens camera the lens takes a finite time to swing round covering the entire field of view, slower at slower shutter speeds, and you can get funny effects (rather like the oval wheels you get with focal plane shutters used on fast-moving cars) if something is moving into or out of the field of view. So it's safer to keep things like trains a little further away... All part of the fun of panoramas! Thanks for your concern over the rating, Chris. It was rather odd, wasn't it? minimum rating for every individual category but maximum for overall? Hard to figure out what THAT means!

This one is may favourite. There's almost an 'S' curve feel to this, with the left having a little distortion and the right bending round the corner. I reminds me of one of the outer elevated platforms at Manchester Piccadilly, though much cleaner of course. I might take my camera up to Piccadilly later in the week and we'll see if my recollection is as good as i think ;-)

Nice panoramic view. Looks very similar to the elevated subway platforms in Queens, NYC.

Great place for a panorama, Roger!
Good shot.
Kind regards, Chris
P.S. I think you've suffered from someone not clicking the right rating buttons!!! I'll try and help make up for it.

Good use of wide angle. You made a good observation and the subject is quite unique.
